The Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC) informed the Bombay High Court that it had identified 4,570 unlawful and illegal structures within its jurisdiction through a survey, initiating appropriate actions against their occupants last week. The court instructed the corporation to promptly issue show cause notices to the occupants and owners involved.
Earlier, the Court instructed the KDMC to dismantle current illegal structures and prevent future encroachments. In response, the corporation issued 2,704 notices, designating 1,004 structures as unauthorised and demolishing 2,967 illegal constructions. Similarly, the state identified 272 unauthorised constructions on collector�s land. The court further directed the electricity distribution companies to collaborate with the civic body in removing unauthorised constructions efficiently.
It mandated the implementation of necessary measures to prevent any new encroachments on government or civic land in the KDMC area. Advocate A. S. Rao, representing KDMC, submitted an affidavit detailing the survey's findings on illegal encroachments and constructions, revealing 4,570 structures identified as unlawful. Rao stressed the initiation of action against illegal occupants and encroachers under the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act, 1949, and the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning (MRTP) Act, 1966. Representing the state, Government Pleader P. P. Kakade presented an affidavit by Vishwas Digambar Gujar, Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) of Kalyan, stating that they had conducted a survey of government land in Kalyan taluka and KDMC municipal limits, resulting in a report.
The affidavit by the SDO disclosed 7,793 encroachments on residential and 459 on commercial government lands in the KDMC area, with 780 residential, three commercial, and 17 agricultural lands in rural areas also encroached. Authorities have issued directives to remove such encroachments and implement precautionary measures to prevent the emergence of illegal structures. The bench requested petitioners respond to the affidavits by state and civic authorities within four weeks and scheduled further hearings for July 8.
In conclusion, the actions taken by the KDMC and the directives issued by the Bombay High Court underscore the commitment to address illegal constructions and encroachments within the jurisdiction. The comprehensive survey findings and the subsequent initiation of legal measures demonstrate a concerted effort to uphold the rule of law and preserve public spaces. Moving forward, cooperation between authorities and stakeholders will be crucial in ensuring the enforcement of regulations and the maintenance of urban integrity.
